Integrated cybersecurity and secure access for a workforce of approximately 80 people.
GBTECH SOLUTIONS · LEGAL
A legal services organization in Calgary needed to protect confidential information while supporting approximately 80 employees across office and remote working environments.
Staff required dependable access to documents, communications and business applications. At the same time, the organization needed controls addressing phishing, credential compromise, endpoint threats and unauthorized access.
The priority was to establish consistent protection around users, devices and applications while supporting the collaboration and mobility required for legal work.
GBTECH delivered a layered cybersecurity architecture that combined office network protection with identity-based access, cloud-delivered security and continuous monitoring.
Endpoint protection, email security and malicious-destination filtering addressed common routes used to compromise accounts and devices. Stronger authentication and access reviews supported appropriate permissions for employees and administrators.
Together, these controls strengthened protection around everyday communications, document access and business applications.
Next-generation firewalls introduced application-aware access policies, intrusion prevention and threat filtering at the office network boundary.
Segmentation separated employee systems, guest access and infrastructure. Controlled communication between these environments helped limit unnecessary access to sensitive resources.
SASE extended consistent security policies to authorized users working beyond the office network. Identity-based access and device posture checks supported access decisions, while cloud-delivered protection helped secure web and application usage.
Zero Trust Network Access restricted users to approved applications according to their access requirements, reducing the need for broad network-level connectivity.
Access controls supported authorized use of cloud collaboration platforms and document services. Permission reviews helped align access with staff responsibilities, while relevant logging supported investigation and accountability.
These measures complemented application-level permissions governing confidential client and matter information.
GBTECH’s monitoring team provided continuous monitoring supported by machine learning–based tools to identify unusual sign-ins, suspicious endpoint activity and unexpected access patterns.
The team investigated alerts using available identity, endpoint and network context. Findings informed adjustments to detection rules, access policies and protective measures as threats and working practices changed.
This approach supported ongoing protection while accounting for legitimate remote work and time-sensitive access to legal applications.
Deployment was structured around document access, collaboration and business application workflows. Initial validation assessed authentication, remote access and application compatibility before wider rollout.
Technical documentation, access-policy reviews and user guidance supported ongoing administration and adoption.
The solution established a consistent security foundation for the organization’s approximately 80-person workforce. It connected office network protection with secure remote access and ongoing threat monitoring.
Application-specific access and layered controls supported the protection of confidential information, while continuous monitoring provided a basis for adapting security as the organization’s needs evolved.
Supporting client confidentiality and secure access wherever legal work takes place.
